The Brand Retail stores in the North East have had VERY little turnover
in the last 6 months. Usually, the only time something new is placed on
the wall is when one part runs out. This does not occur very frequently.
None of the employees like the task of emptying the large fixed bins so
it rarely happens.
I'm glad whenever someone finds my tools useful. The whole purpose of
using a spreadsheet, database or text file as input to a web page
creator is to allow multiple stores to be kept track of simultaneously.
If anyone wants web pages similar to the above, send me a PAB inventory
and I will generate them for you.
Doug
